Baseball's rise and TV reshaping popular sports in 1951 to 1971
The text traces how baseball built arenas for commerce and fan engagement, while outsiders formed new teams and events. By 1971 major league baseball grew to 24 teams drawing 29 million, yet pro football with broader TV access and higher ratings surpassed baseball in appeal, as other sports and televised specials joined the era.
Baseball rebounds to lead in attendance and popularity
Baseball shows a strong surge with 39.5 million total attendance, Seattle and Toronto joining to reach 26 teams, and per club averages nearing 1.5 million. Football attendance peaks earlier and TV ratings remain high, but baseball sustains a broader growth trend as it consolidates a larger entertainment share.}
